THE SUPER RC TRANSMITTER BATTERY

The super battery  is a battery that can be used to  back up the R.C. transmitter 

battery inside the radio control.  The R.C. transmitter battery will provide approximately 2-3 
hours use and the super battery lasts approximately 8 hours. 

The  super   battery  pack  may  be  attached  to  the  radio  control  externally  with  the 

Velcro strips included.  It should be attached to the back of the radio control.  To connect the 
super battery to the radio control, open the battery compartment door on the back of the 
radio control transmitter.  Disconnect the internal RC transmitter battery and feed the radio 
control power wire out through the slot in the battery compartment door.  Connect this wire 
to the super battery.

The R.C. and super batteries should be used alternately to avoid a battery being left 

idle or stored for more than 2 weeks on less than full charge.

When the battery level needle goes in the red, the robot may jump or move on its 

own.  To avoid this remember that the R.C. battery will last about 2-3 hours and the super 
battery, 7-8 hours.  With this in mind and knowing the length of your presentation, you can 
be prepared with fully charged batteries.   Avoid accidentally leaving the radio control  on 
unattended and discharging this battery until it is beyond flat.   This will make it difficult to 
charge.

110 VOLT RC TRANSMITTER POWER SUPPLY

The RC transmitter power supply can be used to power the RC transmitter from a 110 Volt 
wall outlet.  To make the connection, remove the battery compartment door and disconnect 
the battery wire.  Connect the power supply connector in its place and feed the wire through 
the slot in the battery door.  Connect it to a wall outlet and turn on the transmitter.  The 
power level indicator will go up to about the three-fourth level.  Be careful not to pull on the 
power supply wire.

CAUTION:  

Charge the super battery and R.C. battery only with their respective chargers 

to avoid damage to the batteries.   Charge the R.C. and super battery only when in a 
discharged condition.   a discharged condition is when the battery level indicator needle 
goes into the red.  The battery can then be charged for 14-16 hours.  Excessive charging 
or repeated half-discharging can damage the battery and shorten its life and ability to hold 
a full charge.
